Lyrics

What's this in the mirror

Reflecting on something observed in the mirror.

Looking back at me

Seeing a reflection of oneself.

Reflections of a man

Observing reflections of a man.

That I knew so long ago

Reminiscing about a man from the past.

Like a stranger in disguise

Feeling like a stranger in one's own identity.

Could you be wrong

Questioning if one's perception is mistaken.

Thinking you knew me so well

Expressing doubt about others knowing the true self.


Now you tell me, I'm no good

Receiving criticism of being no good.

Take one long look in the mirror

Encouraging self-reflection in the mirror.


I was once a man of dreams

Formerly a dreamer, dreams shattered by someone.

That you destroyed

Attributing destruction of dreams to someone.

You took all I lived for

Loss of everything cherished due to another's actions.

And you threw it all away

Highlighting the abandonment of meaningful pursuits.

Now you're standing all alone

Emphasizing the solitude resulting from one's actions.

And no one cares

Stating that nobody cares about the current plight.

You should have known this before

Indicating the importance of foresight.


You can't tell me I'm no good

Challenging the judgment of being no good.

Just look at yourself

Encouraging self-examination in the mirror.


Don't try to hide your face

Advising against hiding the face from one's history.

Your past you can't erase

Stressing the inability to erase one's past.

Mirror on the wall

Noting the significance of the mirror in self-reflection.

Now the mirror's shattered

Describing the broken state of the mirror.

And it's clear to see

Asserting one's unchanged essence despite hardships.

I'm still the man I was

Reclaiming the original self after facing adversity.

Before you threw it all away

Refusing to let past actions define the present.

The mirror holds the past

Signifying the mirror as a repository of past experiences.

And you can't break free

Emphasizing the difficulty in breaking free from the past.

Now it is your turn to pay

Declaring it is time for the perpetrator to face consequences.


Try and tell me I'm no good

Challenging accusations of being no good.

Just look at yourself

Encouraging self-reflection for the accuser.


Don't try to hide your face

Advising against concealing one's past mistakes.

Your past you can't erase

Highlighting the permanence of past actions.

Mirror on the wall

Reiterating the importance of the mirror in self-examination.
